OH yes, I am a member of the "gear Up" club and
I know believe me!!!! After a prop strike an
overhaul is mandatory. Apart from mandatory it is good common
sense.

Wouldn’t you overhaul a piston engine as

One of the interesting of the turboprop engine is a
prop strike is an automatic engine overhaul. I spent 3 years in experimental
flight test and did no damage and my replacement did two engines (expensive)
in the first year. This is how, I found out how expensive a prop strike can
be. He was in a hurry and hit a snow bank that was supposed to be loose
snow. You definitely don't want a prop strike (even minor) in a turboprop as
it really increases the cost of operation.
